Has she specifically requested games with dolls and pets? If not, just get her good games - doesn't matter who's playing them, games are games.
Yeah, OP apparently just relayed the game description from her. She specifically wants dolls, pets, and all that.
Ah ok, fair enough.
You know what is a great android game for girls... Any good android game. And that's because girls are people. They have a diverse set of interests and are not one single thing.
As I said before: I absolutely agree. I just typed the description she gave me of the game she wants.
well done you! instead of meeting the OP half-way by trying to understand their requirements, you chose to shame them on the easiest of technicalities. Rest well tonight, good warrior, you've earned your propers.
Have you tried minecraft? My 12 year old niece loves minecraft.
Also, pokemon. My niece loved it when she was younger.
+1. My youngest sister plays some weird fake Minecraft clone that's free on mobile. I have no idea what the game is about, but she loves it and gets to socialize with her friends over there
probably minetest
yeah I've tried it, it's great :D
Minecraft is already free on mobile, via Pojav Launcher, lol. And VoxelLibre is a pretty good FOSS clone on all platforms.
Which Pokémon game would you recommend? She's tried house, go, and quest, but only liked the first.
Does she have a Nintendo Switch?
Not right now. Maybe in the future.
I personally grew up on red/blue, but I'm sure those will be too primitive for her.
Does she have a DS?
Neither, we have a Wii, but there is no good Pokémon game for that, afaik.
I think you meant minetest with a Minecraft mod.
Here you go! Never met a girl who didn't like the game
I showed it to her, she didn't like it.
They haven't met her, so the statement still stands.
The deamons you mean? They are lucky they haven't met her.
Here you go! Never met a girl ~~who didn't like the game~~
sorry
dude, read the room
You can also install an emulator for various consoles too.
Yeah I've tried that, but the controls are sometimes less-than-optimal.
I wonder whether maybe you could attach some hardware controller to the android device.
Something like the Gamesir G8 or Backbone One are great when the emulator lets you map controls.
My daughters love "Battle for Polytopia". Some DLC but not infinite.
Love that game. The dlc stuff is basically just to support the creators. I paid for all the add-on civilizations but still almost always pick Bardur.
I've played this a lot with my friends in high school. I can definitely recommend it.
Try finding games on fdroid.
She might find some she likes in gcompris https://www.gcompris.net/index-en.html
No ads or subscriptions, no endless DLC.
Unfortunately, if you're looking for a free download, the game you're describing doesn't exist.
The closest I can think of is Postknight 2. There's unobtrusive (optional) ads, and the full game is playable—start to finish—without spending any money.
It's very cute, and you can get pets... but it'll take some dedicated playtime to unlock them for free.
No, I'm happy with buying games. Just no subscriptions or micro transactions.
Oooooh I have some ideas! Some of these are paid/premium (but NOT micro transactions) and some have mild ads. But I share the distaste for data-mining, money grubbing, brain-melting-ad-ridden games, so I'm certain they are on the least intrusive end of the spectrum.
I really love biology (I'm a biologist...) so these are both pet games and usually breeding/evolution games!
Try KittyToy (itch.io).
What about Cat Quest?
She didn't like the other RPGs she tried, but maybe in a few years...
Yes she has, I tried to clarify that.
I don't know if there's ads in there, but I think a bigger part of your description matches with "Pou".
Guild of Dungeoneering is always a solid choice.
